Kerala Houseboat Holiday
Kerala Houseboat Destinations, Backwater Holidays
The houseboat or Kettuvallam has become Kerala's defining image. Kerala houseboat holiday is the most sought after tourism experience around. The houseboats are comfortable, easy and come with air-conditioning. You get a crew of a cook and bearer, along with the pilot. Kerala houseboat holiday is an unforgettable experience. From single-bedded to four-and even five bedroom behemoths, with living rooms, en-suite bathrooms and equipped kitchens, you get a lot. And what could be better than that? Views constantly change as you navigate the narrow canals, enclosed by the tunnels of vegetation. Open expanse of rice paddy are beautifully boarded by the coconut palms. You can have passing look in to the homes, farms, churches, mosques and temples among the trees. You might catch the blue flash of a kingfisher so often. Villages and farmsteads occupy even the tiniest islets. Some families live on pockets of land, barely large enough for a simple house. They bath and wash their cloths at the water's edge. Traditional country vessels pass you which are powered by boatmen with long poles. Fishermen work from tiny canoes, while massive Chinese nets hang over the banks. The most people still rely on boatmen to ferry them across the water to connect with roads and bus services. This constant crisscrossing of the waters happens from morning to evening. This continued activity provides more than enough interest for travellers in a Kettuvallam. Kerala Houseboat Destinations
